The Dutchman's not the kind of man
To keep his thumb jammed in the dam

sometimes she sees her unborn

children in his eyes

Long ago I used to be a young man,
G
and dear Margaret remem
A
D
bers that for me
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes,
his cap and coat are patched with love
G
Em
that Margaret sewed him
A
Sometimes he thinks he's
He watches tugboats down canals
and calls out to them
G
Em
when he thinks he knows the captain
A
Till Margaret comes to take
G
True unforgiving streets
A
that trip him though she
G
Sometimes he thinks that he's alone
A
D
and calls her name
G

The Dutchman falls asleep
